My Favorite Photo From Costa Rica

The photo below shows a mother and baby two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus). It was taken at Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. Both seemed really cool about having their picture taken. Perhaps living in a national park makes them used to the biological paparazzi.

Why It's Great to Be a Biologist

I'll be in Costa Rica with a group of students for the next ten days. We'll be looking for birds, mammals, reptiles, and the best Costa Rican beer. I hope to have some spectacular pictures to put up here when I get back.
